wire heating to eliminate insulation voids

in primary cables; AccuScan system for

precise on-line measurement of cable

diameter and ovality; CapScan system

for accurate on-line measurement of

cable capacitance; CenterScan system

for accurate, reliable monitoring of

insulated cable diameter and eccentricity

of conductors; lump and neckdown

detector system, including the new LN3015

3-axis gauge; and high-frequency spark

tester for on-line detection of faults in cable

insulation, such as voids and pin holes.

Also included is the LaserSpeed system

for non-contact length and speed

measurement of moving product with

±0.05% accuracy and ±0.02% repeatability;

BenchMike bench-top system for fast,

accurate dimensional measurement of

cut product samples; DataPro process

controller and data management system;

LayScan system for accurate, consistent

cable lay length measurement of twisted

pairs; and SRL Pro on-line structural return

loss (SRL) prediction and analysis system.

Beta LaserMike will also be displaying its

line of bench-top DCM testing systems for

LAN/data cable, such as the DCM Model

ES-2G for quality testing 4-pair category

cables up to 2 GHz, and DCM Model

SCS-350B for quality testing 4-pair category

cables up to 600 MHz. The DCM line of cable

testing systems includes bench-top and fully

integrated turnkey solutions for accurately

and reliably testing LAN/data, telecom,

coaxial, and aerospace/defence cables.

Blachford Corp

Booth 506

In 2008, a Georgia, USA, sugar mill suffered a

devastating explosion due to the presence

and subsequent ignition of a combustible

dust cloud. The accident resulted in the

deaths of 13 people and changed the

way industrial manufacturers manage and

mitigate dust-related risk.

This accident illustrated the risk associated

with combustible dusts and soon thereafter

OSHA began an intensive review of

workplace safety in dust producing

processes. At the same time, wire

manufacturers intensified their search

for ways to reduce both the creation and

accumulation of dust in their facilities.

As part of their search, a number of wire

drawers asked Blachford Corporation for

technological developments that would

reduce dust creation during steel wire

drawing.

For over 50 years Blachford has been

active as an innovator and a technical

solutions provider for the global wire

drawing industry. The company tailors

lubricant programs to the technical

specifications of customers’ processes.

Blachford provides new technology

products to wire producers in support of

their ever-changing needs.
